That was probably very scary. I get scared of any large sized dogs running around without a leash OR owner. You just never know. Luckily I live in a pretty respectful neighborhood and don't find too many loose dogs out. Let alone pitbulls, they are banned here and need to be muzzled and leashed at ALL times IF they are legally owned.
I have a "Bull Terrier" and She is always on a leash. We do have a highschool nearby that has a fenced in soccer field, that is closed in good, no holes to get under and has a gate you can lock behind you. If nobody else is around athe field, we do let her run free in there. But we always have our eyes looking around incase anybody comes around we put her on her leash right away. I've seen lots of others do the same and it's actually a popular place to bring your dog and let them off the leash the way the soccer field is done. But of course if theres a dog in there already we avoid it! |
